Death of a Poet the End

Death of a Poet the final of the final

“Where did you get this”
“Read on Mad Poet it ends in bliss”
I’m reading, I cannot believe it
It’s evident by my racing heart beat

I’m sobbing now 
Who the hell are you? How?
“Read on my friend” 
“Then ask me when you get to the end”

My Dear Love, My Mad Poet

They found you about midday
Why did you not tell me you felt this way
I love you so, so, so, much
I long to feel and miss your gentle touch

Stupid, stupid man, all you had to do was knock on my door
I would have loved you in this life, the next and more
I know we agreed to break up and go our separate ways
But life has been a meaningless maize

Now what do I do?
You gone forever and now I can never have you
Life was hell without you and now it just got worse
I have always said I was your secret love curse
I feel it wont be long before I come to join you
Love has left unhealed scars and fresh wounds too

I wish I could tell you that I love you

Goodbye my love

Always your Juliet

The tears are flowing down my cheeks
The note is dated ahead by a couple of weeks
“Thank you Le what’s your face for saving me, I‘m in your debt”
“Now I can find by beloved Juliet”

“No, no, Mad Poet lie and you rest”
“Look down and see you vest”
“There is no hope you have already plunged the knife into your chest.”
“Death is your new Juliet”
“And it won’t be as merciful  as life’s lost love, I bet”

This is the end I have chosen for the Mad Poet”

Riveting poetry, Sidney. A bit frightening as well. Death will never be your new love; I'm sure you know that. But I do like the way you wove "Juliet" into this poem about death. Very intriguing poem. Best wishes, Carolyn

I am reading a lot of pain within these words, lost love, and seeking answers ~~
